Re: My dishwasher is not draining completely and tripping...
Check the discharge line going into the drain under the sink. Sometimes they get clogged and and that back pressure will tell the pump that it is time to overheat and pop the breaker.

Try resetting by:
turn off dishwasher
trip circuit breaker to remove all power to unit
wait 30 seconds
restore power
start dishwasher
the drain pump should start and drain all water then start a cycle. Good luck
Press the Cancel/ Drain cycle for a few seconds. The dishwasher should reset itself. See if this makes any difference. Also first turn the mains power to dishwasher off and back on.
Do you have the serial number? Bosch had a recall on there circuit boards. If you fall under recall they will pay to have the board replaced or offer you a percentage towards purchase of a new dishwasher.
this could mean there is water leak and it collects at the base of the dishwasher leading to moisture detection circuit tripping. when you leave it for a few days the water dries up and trip is removed. check door seals for leak most likely at the base of the door. turn power off when working on dishwasher.
hi - i would tend to think that theres an electrical problem with the machine, as most dishwashers will start with the drain operations before commencing any cycle - the drain pump may well be the cause..
Most Whirlpool manufactured dishwashers have a thermal fuse, located inside the operator console. When tripped, the dishwasher will not run. A power outage can cause the thermal fuse to trip. It cannot be reset and has to be replaced, if bad. Please post back with your COMPLETE MODEL NUMBER (located around the door opening) so I can determine the configuration of your dishwasher and explain how to access any potential fuses. -->
Bruce,
It would be great to know the model number of your your Kenmore Ultra wash dishwasher, please look on the right hand side of the door for a model/serial number if possible.
First steps:
With no power, please check how the dishwasher gets power. If it is plugged in to an outlet under the sink, please confirm that it is plugged in fully. If that does not fix the problem and if it is plugged in, remove the dishwasher plug and plug in any lamp or small appliance and make sure it turns on.
If no power at the outlet, check the house circuit box for a tripped breaker/blown fuse. Also, check if any of the outlets have GFI (Ground Fault Interupt) circuit protection. Reset that outlet (even if it is not not the same outlet as the dishwasher is plugged in to.
Next steps:
If the dishwasher is connected to a live circuit but still does not work, a component in the dishwasher has probably failed and a service call is in order. Or replacement of the dishwasher, depending on its age.
Please accept this solution soon after walking through the steps - or add a comment with an update and I will try to help more.
Problem is actually a water valve that is near the water inlet. Cost is about 35 bucks to fix unless you listen to the guy on here and pay for parts that you don't need and pay them 20bucks for bad advice. Our total cost to fix this $35 dollar problem was an entire wasted Sat, 2 trips to the appliance repair parts place, $130 for the electrical control board that the "wiz" here said I needed--electronic parts and non returnable so we now have a new one that we didn't need.
